Arnaldo Antonio Sanabria Ayala (born 4 March 1996), also known as Tonny Sanabria, is a Paraguayan footballer who plays for A.S. Roma in Italy, as a striker.
Club career
Born in San Lorenzo, Paraguay, Sanabria started his career in futsal, later moving to football. He joined Cerro Porteño's youth academy in 2004.[2] In 2007, he and his parents moved to Spain, and Sanabria joined a local club from Sitges, called La Blanca Subur CF.
Sanabria joined FC Barcelona's youth academy in 2009, aged 13.[3] A year later, he moved to La Masia's facilities.
In September 2012, Sanabria was called up by manager Tito Vilanova to train with first team.[4] In August 2013, he was promoted to FC Barcelona B.[5]
On 29 September, Sanabria made his professional debut, playing the last 22 minutes in a 0–1 home loss against RCD Mallorca.[6]
On 20 November, Sanabria rejected a contract extension from Barça.[7] Three days later he scored his first professional goal, but in a 1–2 home loss against UD Las Palmas.[8] Sanabria was linked to Roma and others which face fierce competition to sign him in January.[9]
Sassuolo
On 29 January Sanabria joined fellow Serie A side Sassuolo, for a €4.5 million fee, which could go to 12 million "dependent on the player’s performance and his future value".[10] The deal was later clarified and he would join Roma in July, as the Giallorossi already reached the foreign quota.[11]
Sanabria made his Serie A debut on 23 March, replacing Davide Biondini in a 0–1 loss at Udinese.[12]
Roma
Sanabria officially joined Roma in July 2014. As well as being a member of the first team squad, Sanabria also featured for the Roma Primavera squad in the 2014–15 UEFA Youth League, scoring two goals in the 3-2 defeat against Bayern Munich on 5 November 2014.[13]
On 8 February 2015, Sanabria made his first team debut for Roma, replacing Francesco Totti after 62 minutes, in the 2-1 Serie A victory against Cagliari.[14]
International career
After playing for both under-17 and under-20 levels, Sanabria made his full squad debut on 14 August 2013, in a 3–3 draw against Germany.[15]
